9. History of barcelona chair
• In 1950, Mies redesigned his old Barcelona
chair using modern techniques which allowed
the frame to be moulded from a single piece
of stainless steel rather than being bolted
together. The original pigskin seat was
replaced with cow leather
• Perhaps the most iconic work from Mies'
oeuvre, the Barcelona Chair at once gives life
to and is born from its materials. Like the MR
and Brno Chairs, it is composed of steel and
leather. The steel bar legs ease up and over to
support the seat and back of the chair. Mies'
gift was to endow grace in otherwise
monotonous substances. The Barcelona Chair
attests to his mastery of form, function, and
beauty.
